The XXI century has made its own adjustments in this area of interaction between a doctor and a patient.&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of the study: to assess the adherence of patients of different age groups to therapy at the outpatient stage, depending on the degree of their use of information technology&lt;br /&gt;Materials and methods: The study was conducted using our own questionnaire on the use of information technologies by a particular patient in combination with the Morisky-Green questionnaire designed to assess patients' adherence to treatment, as well as the HADS anxiety and depression scale. Statistical processing was carried out using the Microsoft Excel program. All patients gave informed consent to participate in the survey.&lt;br /&gt;Results: analyzing the data obtained using the Morisky-Green questionnaire, three groups were identified among the respondents: compliant (18 people), non-compliant (31 people) and the least committed to treatment patients (11 people).&lt;br /&gt;After processing the data obtained using the HADS anxiety and depression scale, it turned out that the average level of depression and anxiety in compliant patients was higher than the corresponding indicators in non-compliant and least committed to treatment patients.&lt;br /&gt;The results of their own questionnaire: 17 people give their preference to the Internet in the search for information, 35 respondents searched for information about their disease before visiting the attending physician, patients use technical devices with Internet access on average 4.5  0.8 hours a day, and directly from the Internet, patients participating in the study consume information on average 3.8  0.6 hours a day.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;1. Based on the analysis of the above data, we can say that the patients who are most located and trust the knowledge obtained from virtual environments have an average age of 39.8  4.1 years, since representatives of this age category are more socialized, as a rule, actively use the Internet in everyday life to communicate with their family members, colleagues and consumption of entertainment content.&lt;br /&gt;2. Patients who use Internet resources as a source of information immediately before outpatient admission are more committed to the prescribed treatment than other respondents, at the same time they are characterized by a significantly higher level of anxiety and depression, which can negatively affect the treatment and recovery process.&lt;/p&gt;</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>information technology</kwd><kwd>admission to therapy</kwd><kwd>outpatient stage</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>информационные технологии</kwd><kwd>приверженность к терапии</kwd><kwd>амбулаторный этап</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Страхова Н.В.
